Office of Chief Information Officer

The Office of Chief Information Officer (CIO) supports Automated Information Systems and telecommunications for the Defense Security Service National Industrial Security Program, Counterintelligence activities, and Security Education and Awareness Training. In addition, the CIO plans, programs, and manages the activities associated with the development and implementation of the Enterprise Security System (ESS). This includes the ongoing support and maintenance of the legacy systems that will eventually be integrated components of the ESS.

The ESS will incorporate five major functional areas: Personnel Security; Adjudicative Case Management; Industrial Security; File & Archive; and Security Education and will integrate several previously disparate security systems (e.g., Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS), e-Questionnaire for Investigation Processing (e-QIP), Defense Central Index of Investigations (DCII), improved Investigative Records Repository (iIRR), Educational Network Registration and On-Line Learning (ENROL); and the Industrial Security Facility Database (ISFD). This will create a robust, real-time capability for all DoD participants in the Military Departments, DoD Agencies, and the National Industrial Security Program. In addition, the ESS will include an automated records check (ARC) functionality and an adjudicative case management capability.
